Women’s Wrestling Wrap-Up

Welcome to the latest edition of the Women’s Wrestling Wrap-Up, which details everything in the past week in women’s wrestling, beginning with Monday’s Raw.

Sasha Banks was back in action on Raw for the first time in two months, as she and Paige defeated Charlotte and Dana Brooke. It was Sasha forcing Dana to tap out to the Bank Statement that picked up the victory for herself and Paige. Meanwhile, the Becky/Natalya saga continued, as Becky Lynch came out to compete in a match against Summer Rae, only to make a beeline for the evil Natalya, who was on commentary. I do see these two facing off eventually, but if I’m WWE, I’d save this for Battleground on July 24.

Impact Wrestling featured Sienna and Gail Kim in action for the Knockouts Championship. Allie attempted to interfere, but Jade took her down, only to be knocked down yet again by Marti Belle, allowing Sienna to emerge victorious in her first defense of the Knockouts Championship. Not really an exciting edition of Impact, Knockout-wise. The next night’s NXT featured Alexa Bliss defeating Carmella, and then interrupting Bayley’s backstage interview. As for Lucha Underground, Ivelisse and Taya were in the office of Dario Cueto, who decided to put the two of them in action at Ultima Lucha Dos.

Thursday’s SmackDown featured NXT’s Billie Kay making a surprise appearance, as she was defeated by NXT alum Dana Brooke. Billie Kay is best known to fans of indy women’s wrestling (myself included) as Jessie McKay, and she was signed by WWE last year. After working as a babyface at first, Billie developed a villainous persona some time last fall, which included participating in a #1 Contender’s Battle Royal on NXT in January of this year. She has mostly competed at live events since then, so it was a surprise to see her on a main show; even more surprising to see her as a babyface. This was not the only bit of women’s action on SmackDown, as Sasha Banks showed Summer Rae who’s boss (no pun intended) later in the program.

A new week begins tomorrow with an explosive 4th of July Raw! Knockouts fans will see Raquel in action this Tuesday, as she and The BroMans will face off against Decay, and Ultima Lucha Dos begins this Wednesday! Until next week!
